I would like to see a solo Ultra Boy mini-series, an Invisible Kid
mini-series showing his 'spy' past, or a bunvh of stories in the old
'Legionnaires Three' concept.

If the problem is just the lack of flight rings then it's easy: Inferno
has one and they can get one for Ferro by demanding that irritating
twit from the Future tense storyline can fork his over.

I'm guessing that McCauley sent Radion, Blastoff & Particon to disrupt
the Legion's mission and that KK, Spider Girl & Evolvo wanted no part
of it & quit.
>

Well, I'm hoping that Karate Kid will be available. I would like to
see Andromeda back on the team and maybe the second Kid Quantum.

Move on Jo, the romance is dead ;)

Well, they can get away with looking long & stringy.

Anyone ever see the old Simpsons episode where there was a mock 'Ned

I'm hoping this means that there will be some members aged during the
Mordru/Eye fight & isn't another potential Zero Hour in the making...

Hmm--I hope this isn't a mangled reference to an upcoming meeting with
a preboot Legion. As much as I liked the pre-v4 LSH, I feel there
should be zero overt references to it in the current books, if only to
avoid those who even now seek a separate "v4 LSH" title. This Legion
should stand on its own.

So if there happens to be, say, Jacques Foccart as Leviathan II, we'll
find out, eh?

Grumble. Can we make it a *really* small part, so we don't have to
buy it? :) Sprocking crossovers...

Ferro, next week?

Aw, c'mon, no hints? Numbers?
>L* #53 is a Magno spotlight.
I suppose it's due, to find out why he's on the team (or why he'll be
leaving soon). When is Element Lad's?

"Golden Age Legion"? While I'd like to see the *Silver Age* Legion,
I'm not sure what to think of a Golden Age Legion...

Nope. No typos, no imaginary Legion chats. Golden Age LSH.

Don't buy it.
I mean it -- the only way to discourage crossovers is to stop buying
them.
I didn't buy FINAL NIGHT, and I don't feel that I missed a thing.

More likely it's an "imaginary" story...

I bought the four miniseris issues because I recognised this was a
retelling of the Sacrafice of Ferro Lad story, and filed it with my
Legion collection. As for the crossovers, I didn't get anything that
was not part of a series I didn't already collect.
Does this mean I supported the crossover?

If you bought it, you supported it. If you liked it, don't give it another
thought. If you didn't like it . . . .
Well, you're not alone in being an AR Legion collector. :)
As for myself, I liked FINAL NIGHT.
